Berlin embraces street art with a similar enthusiasm to Melbourne. 27 years ago I took photos of the five-storey murals painted on West Berlin apartment firewalls. This time there’s street art large and tiny all over the city.
Commissioned public art still exists. Since the wall came down in 1989 graffiti and murals have appeared in what was East Berlin – most notably the tourist attraction of East Side Gallery – a long section of remaining wall along the Spree river.
Here are a few of my favourite street artists/work from our neighbourhood; Kreuzberg.
It was a treat to find new Little Lucy paste-ups
